Jamie Carragher has accused Arsenal players of 'chucking' the match against Crystal Palace and said it is 'time for change' at the Emirates.

The Gunners were woeful as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, a loss which leaves them seven points shy of the Champions League places, with a game in hand.

After the match Carragher pointed out the similarities between this Arsenal performance and former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's last game in charge of Chelsea.

He told Sky Sports: "That takes me back to a performance on Monday Night Football last year that Claudio was involved in. Where we said afterwards, "The Chelsea players have chucked it for Jose Mourinho".

"It looks like the Arsenal players have chucked it. Four games on the bounce conceding three in all of them, putting in a performance like that.

"That's what it looks to me. People always talk about Arsene Wenger, it's clear the fans are split. I don’t think the fans are split, more of them want change. It's now looking like the players want change.

"And I've always been a massive admirer - I still am - the class of him, the way he speaks after a game, before games. But it's time for a change.

"The club is Arsene Wenger’s from top to bottom, he's been there that long and rightly so. But now the whole club looks a problem. It looks on the pitch you can see that. Leadership from the top of the club."
